Perks: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 00:20, 13 September 2026

Perks are permanent character upgrades purchased with points earned through levelling. They are different from Skills, which improve by performing related actions.

Current perks

The perk names and per-level effects below come directly from the current game definitions. Use the cost and confirmation shown in-game when buying the next level.

Perk	Effect per level
Immunity	Increase Max Rad Immunity by 5
Morale	Increase Max Morale by 100
Life	Increase Max Life by 100
Luck	Increase chance of finding better items
Strength	Increase strength by 1%
Defense	Increase defense by 1%
Speed	Increase speed by 1%
Agility	Increase agility by 1%

Spending points

Later perk levels can cost more than early levels, so spreading points and specialising have different trade-offs. Before confirming a purchase, consider whether your current bottleneck is resource capacity, survivability, combat effectiveness, or loot quality.

Perk changes may be restricted or costly. Treat the in-game confirmation as authoritative for the current cost and effect.

-Here’s where you can spend your well earnt skill points from levelling up. '''Choose wisely because as yet there’s no way to go back on a selection'''. The first upgrade cost 1 skill point and subsequent upgrades the cost will grow exponentially. For example, to upgrade to level 10 in Rad Immunity: It will cost you 1 skill point for the 1st upgrade, 2 for the 2nd, 3 for the 3rd, 4 for the 4th, and so on.  A total of 55 points.
